Dan is above Atlantis, Kevin is above a Beehive. Both are cool. Subtract points if you dislike beanies or lycra.

if we were flaggers it might be different but we are climbers - kevin and dano are both as bad ass as it gets.

Worth noting that Osman has his upper arm in nearly full externernal rotation as he is holding on to a vertical crack. The other guy is holding a huge jug in neutral (with his head against the rock.)

edit regarding spotters not much point in spotting Dano up there

What everyone else said.

Unfortunately, the masses that buy most of today's crag rags wouldn't see any difference.

Wouldn't that take an extra elbow?

Kevin Jorgeson wins this heinous battle easily because he is the only one honoring the age old wisdom of maintaining three points of contact with the rock.

Hairball or highball?

Dano wins. Just super clean everything- form, rock, attire.

I agree that the photo of Dano is better than the photo of Kevin....

Dano indeed had several broken ribs sustained in a bike crash earlier in the day. He went into shock later in the evening. He also didn't know his picture was being taken; videographer was changing film and he was hanging around waiting and got bored so decided he might as well flag.

Why compare? They're both bad ass moves?



Its not a flagging comp. Just two dudes rocking out some cool sh#t.




Ask yourself this can you flag?
